UCL’s Stanmore Campus buildings are based on the grounds of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) in Stanmore.

The new building will provide accommodation and facilities for the existing Medical Sciences and Engineering staff at Stanmore together with RNOH colleagues and expansion. There are growing collaborations between the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Engineering and the RNOH and the new BEH will allow these collaborations to grow and provide room for the expansion which is already occurring. There will be RNOH accommodation within the BEH for their Histopathology and R&I Departments.
Innovation and engagement through the design, prototyping and fabrication of novel medical devices will be at the core of the new facility.
